I find the terminology here rather confusing.

The axons ARE myelinated. So damage to them would affect the
myelin coat in some cases. Demyelinating means a progressive deterioration of the the myelin insulation...implying an autoimmune assault.

You can use supplements for repair if this is a temporary injury.
The Bcomplex including good B12 and fish oil, help repair myelin.

The MS community has put together a list for this:

It is pretty long, and has some high doses, you may not need. So if you decide to help repair...let me know, and I'll start you on the most critical ones and we'll go from there.
